    Hi guys, it looks like I can't find white blizzard touch up paint? Do I need to find multiple different colors/coats?

    The colour coat is two part, or are you talking about the pens that are colour coat at one end, clearcoat at the other end?

    Not sure. I am just trying to buy touch up paint and it seems a bit confusing. So there are total of 3 paints? 1 for base, 1 for pearl and 1 for clear coat?

    I was asking @yeldogt but:

    For our classic silver metallic Toyota Canada sells a pen that's the (complete) colour at one end, and clearcoat at other end. I never use the clearcoat, well did once, and it started lifting the previous colour coat.

    I'm guessing it's similar for your white pearl colour, but not sure. The fact that the paint process involves an extra step had me wondering.

    I recently purchased a dupli-color scratch fix all-in-1, that's one you could check out. Input the paint code, it's shown on the vin decal in driver's door frame.

    I've bought Blizzard Pearl touch up paint at the dealer and they just gave me 070.

    I've only used it a couple of times in very tiny places. The color seems to match but it doesn't really have the pearl look of the original.
